In a gesture of reconciliation, Ghanaian gospel musician, Sonnie Badu, has issued an apology to Dr. Kweku Oteng, CEO of the Angel Group of Companies.
This follows a public callout by Sonnie Badu for not receiving a response to his call, despite Dr. Kweku Oteng’s earlier commitment to financially support his concert.
Sonnie Badu explained that he chose to address the matter publicly due to growing frustration caused by the misconception that Dr. Kweku Oteng had supported the concert, which was not the case.
Expressing regret, Sonnie Badu acknowledged learning from the incident and pledged not to repeat such actions in the future, recognizing the potential impact on his relationships with prominent individuals.
“Let me use my platform to apologize to Dr. Kweku Oteng for calling him out on Okay 101.7FM – for not sponsoring my concert, ‘Rhythms of Africa’. For those of you who don’t know: I remained loyal to him and honored him gracefully in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Nonetheless, I apologize sincerely to Dr. Oteng for bringing this out in the public domain. I have learnt my lesson not to depend on man and indeed, when I turned back to God, he surprised me and made ‘Rhythms of Africa’, arguably one of the best events in Ghana thus far,” he wrote on his Instagram page.
What precipitated Sonnie Badu’s public outburst regarding Dr. Kweku Oteng was revealed.
“I must admit that it was extremely frustrating that an impression was created that Dr. Oteng had supported the successful concert that took place at the Grand Arena over the weekend and I felt the need to clear the air.”

For those of you who don’t know: I remained loyal to him and honored him gracefully in Atlanta, Georgia.
For my major concert in Atlanta, Dr. Oteng promised to support the project but came up short.
For the recently held concert in Ghana, I paid a courtesy call on him and once again, he pledged to support the project, only for him to disappoint me again – after placing so much trust in his words and hoping he would make amends for his earlier failed promise.
After my visit to him, I excitingly posted on my social media platforms about his willingness to support the project.
I must admit that, it was extremely frustrating that an impression was created that Dr. Oteng had supported the successful concert that took place at the Grand Arena over the weekend and I felt the need to clear the air.

God bless you, Sir!
